With only one day in Milan, I wanted to experience as much as possible—and the Hop-On Hop-Off bus was the perfect choice. Milan is a large and vibrant city, and instead of constantly checking Google Maps or a guidebook, I was able to relax and truly enjoy the sights. I explored three of the four routes, and each one was fantastic. It’s by far the easiest and most enjoyable way to see the highlights of Milan in a short time. The commentary was informative, the buses were clean and easy to find, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Traveling light was simple too—I left my large suitcase at the airport and took my small case with me on the bus without any issues. My final route conveniently ended at Cadorna, where I could hop straight onto the express train back to the airport. An interesting, smooth, and completely hassle-free experience. I can’t wait to explore more destinations this way in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful way to discover Milan!

It was unforgettable experience! Gorgeous views from breathtaking heights! Milano Duomo is a real masterpiece which proves that architecture is called "frozen music"! Terrific!

It was very very easy to locate the right platform and the train was on time at the station and journey easy into the city. Onkybissi was with the prepaid ticket and code you do not have to validate it on the platform which was not clear on the papers.

Very convenient for reaching central Milan and in particular the main railway station from terminal 1 or 2. Numerous rotations. Very punctual. Beautiful new trains. Possibility of buying tickets at the station or directly online, as I did. Very practical, accepts Apple Pay. I recommend
